NWBA is an association for travel baseball teams in Georgia. It was formed for the purpose of providing a common basis of scheduling, rules, competition, and player development. Over the years it has added stability to the youth travel team environment and provides a common focal point for coaches and teams to plan their seasons. It is non-intrusive, in that teams play out of and under the guidelines of their own "host association".
NWBA teams have developed a national reputation for their level of play. NWBA is open to new teams so come join "Georgia Travel Baseball at its best!".
NWBA contact information is available under the Contacts option located in the upper right of the screen.

2010 Registration Forms (Posted Date: Monday, January 04, 2010)
The registration fee for an at-large team covers a team not participating in league play and the fee includes liability and supplemental accident insurance and administration costs. Note it does not include the rule books.
Teams that take advantage of the NWBA web site and forums to obtain information and to assist them in managing their team are asked to join the NWBA Coaches Association. This helps defray some of the costs and if we could get more information on teams we could make it easier for teams to contact each other and provide additional benefits.
2010 Officers (Posted Date: Thursday, October 01, 2009)
We need some individuals to step up and volunteer for positions to help with the upcoming season. You are going to need a few baseball tasks to keep you busy in the late fall and winter anyway so why not help make youth baseball better.
We believe league play is important in developing players as it provides games that have meaning but are not played in the critical environment of tournaments. Players take them more serious than scrimmage games but it is not a win or go home situation.
NWBA has always allowed each age group to split themselves into whatever divisions the teams desired. This can be classification (A/AA/AAA/Major/Select), geographical, combinations of geographical and classification, etc. Each division sets the number of games and structure they desire to play. All of the administration during the season is performed via the web site so after the season starts there are few duties so it doesn't take time away from managing/coaching/parenting your team. This year, we are adding a new position of Division Commissioner to make it easier to structure the leagues and division.
Positions Available.
Age Group Director
This position coordinates the various divisions within the age group and chairs the annual meeting. There are some needs for this position in the lower age groups.
Division Commissioner
This position coordinates the teams within the division. Field time availability from the teams needs to be acquired and schedules developed. Works with the other Division Commissioners if any inter-division games are scheduled. Helps recruit teams that fit that particular division. This position helps get like minded teams in the same division.
Know some teams you would like to play some league games with?
Are you geographically too far away to play in our traditional league?
Get a group of teams together and join as a division. This allows anyone to coordinate a group of similar teams and set up a division within NWBA. All of the administration of the games, schedules and standings can take place on the web site. You have to schedule some non-tournament games anyway, why not do it with some organization.
Any questions call or email.
